Fall Runway Trend: High Tech, High Fashion

More

Form met function on the fall runways, with designers like Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, and Anthony Vaccarello showing pieces fit for an urban adventure.
Sportswear nylons and slick, shiny synthetics were the tech-y materials of choice, accented by zippers, rip-stops, and other utilitarian details. Shapes — like long rectangles accented by pouches of cargo pockets — stayed geometric to match a bold and basic color palette of black, yellow, red, and forest green with pops of silver, gray, and white.
To battle a dreary day, test out a raincoat with cargo detailing and zippers in a bright color, or a shirt or skirt in a slick material. When temperatures drop, bundle up with a puffer coat cinched at the waist à la Acne, or try a zippered jacket like those shown at 3.1 Phillip Lim. Just remember: one piece of outerwear is all you need to take this trend from the catwalk to the classroom.

Zip through the season in sporty yet sophisticated outerwear and other utilitarian duds.
